herb crust

Savory green topping

An herb crust is a coating of breadcrumbs mixed with chopped herbs—typically rosemary, thyme, or parsley—pressed onto meat or fish before roasting or baking.

The crust adds flavor and creates a textured exterior: rack of lamb with an herb crust, herb-crusted salmon.
